CNPC E-Light Initiative Plants Mangroves in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia for Climate Action
asianews.networkCNPC's E-Light Global Green Public Welfare Initiative ran from August 18 to 23 in Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Selangor, Malaysia. The events focused on climate action and ocean conservation, including mangrove planting at Bang Pu Nature Education Centre in Thailand and Sijangkang Mangrove Park in Malaysia. Participants planted 180 and 200 saplings respectively, and CNPC also renovated a boardwalk at the Malaysian park. The initiative also included participation in the World Sustainability Forum in Hong Kong, where CNPC shared its work on urban energy security and low-carbon infrastructure upgrades. Beyond the planting, the initiative aimed to build transnational people-to-people exchange around ecological protection. It brought together government officials, business representatives, journalists, and local residents, with over 500 attendees across the three locations. CNPC also inaugurated a Cultural Exchange Center at a Bangkok secondary school. The company frames these actions as part of its ESG commitments, though the press release does not provide specific metrics on carbon impact or long-term project monitoring.
